Thanks, Loca!
Yes, I did set AuthDBMUserFile (the whole point for this module is to use a
DBM file to do the authn control, isn't it?)
I generate the file called dbm-auth-file using dbmmanger
$ file dbm-auth-file
dbm-auth-file: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 9, native byte-order)
and then I loaded the module and configured it in a <Directory> as follows,
AuthType Basic
AuthName Documents
AuthBasicProvider dbm
AuthDBMType DB
AuthDBMUserFile "/home/tixu/httpd-2.4.20-bin/dbm-auth-file"
and then I got the "DSO load failed" message:
[Thu May 05 18:12:29.915467 2016] [authn_dbm:error] [pid 9107:tid
140031532377856] (20019)DSO load failed: [client 127.0.0.1:54442] AH01754:
could not open dbm (type DB) auth file: /home/tixu/httpd-2.4.20-bin/
dbm-auth-file
I changed the AuthBasicProvider to be "default" and used "htdbm" to create
the DBM files (in which can it generates a .dir and .pag file). And the
module goes correctly.
Thus, I'm sure there it the problem of the "AuthDBMType". But I'm not sure
if this is a bug in the implementation of mod_authn_dbm or a problem of
some native libs in my system or some incompatibility caused by the
dbmmanger?
Thanks!
